Congratulations to David Jackman on
the tenth anniversary of his brilliantly
successful Everything Epping Forest. We could
not manage without it! - Epping Forest MP

Congratulations, it seems just like
yesterday that you started. 'Everything
Epping Forest' plays the crucial role of
keeping us all informed about what is
going on in our district. In this era of
fake and partisan news your news outlet
can always be relied upon for accurate
and independent reporting which is vital
in a healthy democracy. My warmest
congratulations and thank you for all
your hard work David, and here’s to
the next decade - Loughton

Everything Epping Forest keeps going

David’s passion for Epping Forest

years - King Harold Day organiser

Big congratulations on your 7th

reliable reporting of our local news. In
addition it has become an essential and
much loved part of our community. Indeed
it is EEF that has done much to make our
community life so much better. Through
your site in its various manifestations
we are more in touch with each other.
That’s a big achievement. Here’s to
your next seven years - Rev'd Canon

I have been a supporter
of Everything Epping Forest since it was
launched. I love the fact that it is
so ‘Epping Forest centric’ and directly reaches
the heart of the people in the locality. Quite
often
EEF is first with news which is always
interesting and pertinent to its wide audience
range. My company is also one of the
advertisers on the home page and we frequently
get ‘click throughs’
from the EEF website to our own website. David
Jackman - you are doing a sterling job in the
community, well done!”
Sue Sowerby, Sowerby Group

There's something to be
said about reading one's news in a newspaper (or
looking at a photo album instead of flicking
through a load of pictures on a computer
screen), but in comparison with today's
expensive, and not-so-very-local newspapers,
there's a lot to be said for Everything Epping
Forest, where you get up-to-date news, on a
daily basis - and for free! In the months since
its 'first edition' it has grown into an
excellent 'local', giving us local news as it
happens (sometimes on the same day!), plus a
first-class diary of forthcoming events. Well
done! Dennis Wood,
North Weald

...good luck to
local newspaper editor David Jackman who started
hyper-local site Everything Epping Forest after
being made redundant. He has now launched a
second in neighbouring Harlow - called
Everything Harlow. The big difference for me
between David and many millions of bloggers is
that he seems to be a real journalist. Solid
stories, well written with attention to
punctuation, spelling and grammar.
George Dearsley,
freelance journalist (ex nationals and Sky TV)

Everything Epping Forest
is a breath of fresh air! As a local news site
it is unbeatable. In its web format it is easy
to navigate, informative and to the point. No
sifting through a mound of editorial comment -
just the information we need and in an easily
digested format. It is playing a huge part in
giving community information, including events
and news of Epping area societies, clubs and
organisations. The town weekly news is also
helpful, well presented and informative. In our
busy lives when it’s not always possible to work
through a newspaper, this site just gives me
what I need to keep up with what’s happening in
Epping and is enlightening. Thank you David for
providing such a great community resource.
Rev Geoffrey Connor,
Team Rector, Epping District Team Ministry
